Although outwardly a somewhat friendless and
socially disconnected personality due to
Ketu in bhava-11, Rahu-5
invests great energy in pursuit of demonstrations of
political acumen which
promise to advance His social entitlements.

Camouflaging, disguising Rahu-5 wants to appear as a
legitimate, credible holder of
status-rank in the class of beings =

The Sun-Kings,
theatrical actors and politicians,

radiant centers of public attention,

the
charismatic and glittering, the royal and divinely inspired,

generators of marvelous children,

game-players and gamblers, entertainers, fashion-stylists

the intelligent, the creative,
the sparkling, the confident and bright,

holders of Good Fortune, the golden
ones, brilliant, blessed,

Rex: the
rich, the
regal, the self-righteous, the
rightfully chosen.

Rahu-5 takes on whatever guise is necessary to
insinuate Himself into
the desired center-stage roles.

Ambitious desire to be recognized for the
exceptional qualities of one's children. May claim entitlement
rights to children who are not precisely one's own. Often adopted
exceptional children.

Rahu wants what He socially cannot have or
morally should not have.
It is Rahu-5's desire to receive the privileges
accorded to

political, literary, and theatrical
genius

creator of delightful children

masters of the arts of entertainment and amusement

a splendid center-stage figure
radiating Great Brilliance

Whatever distinction He obtains in
the hungry question for recognition, hungry Rahu will never be satisfied.

Immediately upon obtaining the object of desire, Rahu again yearns
for more, better, different privileges given to the class of beings
who show political empowerment, charismatic centrality, and poetic,
romantic brilliance. Every day begins with renewed lust for this
ephemeral prize.

Ambitious desire (Rahu) to be
recognized as a brilliantly intelligent
creative risk-taking performance genius.
Self-elevation via surreptitious
involvement in politics, drama, or the royal court.

Extraordinary,
illegitimate, or exotic children. Children might
live with foreigners or the circumstances of their
acquisition breaks some type of taboo. Celebrity
seeking; fascinating figure; excitement, bright
lights, applause - but with a slippery undertow.

Ambivalence (Ketu) toward
economic gains and social
networking. No restrictions upon gains of income,
but also very little attachment to material
achievements.

Although Rahu makes one famous,
Ketu-11 has few friendship links; no taste for
company. May be
swindled by false
friends in the marketplace, but not motivated to
seek redress.

5 = 11th from 7th

in His 11th-from gainful,
economic, networking, association-seeking behaviors, Rahu co-lord of
Kumbha-natural-11 produces the hunger to form profitable
marketplace association with a specific class of persons.

Rahu craves to enter into association with those whose
gains, profits and
goal-achievement are typically obtained from activities of the
7th portion.

Rahu aims to gain a fraudulent or as-yet-unearned qualification
into this class of persons.

In 2011, "Genesis" musicianPhil Collins
was reported to have paid out $US_42_million in divorce
settlements to his first three ex-wives and children. Collins =
Shukra + Guru yuti Rahu +
Mangala in bhava-5 (romance, children) +
Chandra in a rashi of Shukra in 1 (social identity) .

This combination amplified by Rahu may generate an
increasingly dramatic (5) roller-coaster effect
of marriage (Shukra), children (Guru), and
divorce-followed-by-remarriage (Mangala, L-2 regeneration of
spouse). Total possible 5 marriages.

Rahu's Passageway

Bhava-5 provides the snake-hole
aperture through which the ambitious Naga King slithers, slides,
and springs upward.

Amplification of the importance of
charisma, politics,
individual creativity, and children (5), often at the
expense of the practical awareness of the larger social community (11).

"Knows" that one is destined for greatness as a
member of the elevated class that has
been specially chosen
to promote one's children, one's creative performance, one's
romantic literature, political power, or gambling genius.

France-Emperor reign 1804-1815Napoleon
Bonaparte being
childless in his first marriage,
in order to get a male heir, divorced his wife Josephine, and married a royal whom he did
not love. She produced the short-lived heir. Eventually he
expressed affectionate respect for the mother of his child. No
drishti from Guru.

Idealistic, political and romantic .
Political election, romance, or children provides a platform for
personal ascendance. Rahu craves elevation to a higher social
station via politics, theatre, children, or creative performance.

Rahu uses the creative intelligence or the
children as a
platform from which to launch the Great Leap, but does not remain
consistent with the political or creative agenda that one was elected
or nominated to carry out.

Passion to become someone
better, higher, different than given at time of creative assignment.

Via Rahu's characteristic over-promotion,
Rahu-5 often gets into misguided child-raising or illicit
politicking that is "over their head".

Rahu's Great Leap Forward in bhava-5 creates a sudden advance to a
higher level of social privilege via a shape-shifting change in

political-power style,

children, creativity

literary authorship,
performance arts,

political and theatrical charisma

fashion, celebrity relationships, romance, courtly love

gambling and gamesmanship, speculation

and expressions of personal genius.

During the
mahadasha
of Rahu and bhukti periods of Rahu, one may "re-invent" the
political self to facilitate a move to center-stage which more
effectively matchesthe customs of a
royal or celebrity echelon.

Napoleon shifted political loyalties every few months, fighting
three-way battles, taking glamorous center-stage positions on
the battlefield them disappearing for holiday retreat, then
suddenly promoted to a higher title despite critical absence
from duty [5 = 8th-from-10th, dereliction of duty] all the
while wearing dashing uniforms ornamented with medallions and
ribbons.

The name-change decision was not only political by
removing the power of her famous actor father to control her
identity but also a "great leap forward" theatrically by
creating lovely, exotic-sounding dramatic name.

"Desire for Exotic
Creativity"

"Leapfrog"
over the
conventional path to privilege via political intelligence,
theatrical genius, games and gambling, extraordinary confidence, or
via one's children.

Rahu the Rakshasa
feeds upon chaotic and
manipulative circumstances within the realms of children,
politics, creativity, literature, performance arts, theatre,
speculation, and games.

Rahu the Intruder
disregards the approved steps for generating children,
upsets the schedule of theatrical performance art, and makes one
privy to disturbing and possibly dangerous threats to national
security.

Rahu in 5 provides a source of chronic
dissatisfaction with the limitations and constraints of one's
children, with political behaviors, with conventional intelligence,
performance arts and celebrity lifestyle.

Dissatisfied with conventional children, Rahu-5 may prefer to adopt a child from a better or more diverse bloodline. Dissatisfied with conventional practice of intelligence,
one adventures into new forms of insight. Rahu in 5 can indicate
genius marked by remarkably high entitlement and intelligent
gambling on creative risks.

Children tend to come through adoption and
previous marriage or are born out of wedlock or have some high-risk
features..

Rahu the Rogue provides an extreme desire to
obtain political
celebrity and to receive applause for brilliant
performance.

Les agents
provocateurs
represented by Rahu-5 = not necessarily an
immoral influence. The agent desires to obtain privileged experiences
by "leapfrog" without having
followed the conventional proving steps toward social approval of
"creativity" (5, intelligence,
genius, children).

Thus
Rahu in 5 disturbs the existing orderly limits regarding:

"showing off" =
bravado = one may
usurp "center-stage" attention in a surreptitious fashion by
pretending to have more political credibility than one really has.
(Examples of quick-rise to
politically central positions on the basis of
spotty, unrelated or unproven background

Lee Iacocca

exotic or unusual conditions of
political
career

romance = frequent and passionate

Children

bahu-putra yoga

Rahu in putra bhava = "bahuputra
yoga"

results = If Rahu occupies 5 and Rahu does
NOT occupy either Makara navamsha or Kumbha navamsha then a
possibility opens of having a rather large number of Children.
There should however be other factors which support good expansion
of the child-count, such as a well place Jupiter.

The Rahu child is desirable, ambitious, and attractive, but may be a channeler of alternative personalities per Rahu-1.
(depends on Rahu's lord)

Rahu's pride generates a great
desire to exercise the creative intelligence.

One seeks to achieve
self-elevation through acquisition of children.
May feel entitled (5) to
the social validation granted to those who raise
society's children, yet often the offspring do not arrive on the conventional schedule.

Rahu-5 feels a passion for children despite not quite having earned the entitlement in parallel lives .
Confidence in one's reproductive powers
is low but recognition (Rahu)
entitlement (5) = high.

Children are exotic or 'marked'
(remarkable) in some
fashion; often a foreign adoption, or one accepts the children of
another.

Children are indeed a means to
an end, the end being self-glorification (Rahu) rather
than a natural continuation of a divine spark of
intelligence (normal reproduction). Too much desire and
not enough faith somewhat perverts the natural fertility
process. Thus, devious means of producing or acquiring children must be resorted to.

If Guru casts drishti upon 1, 5
or 9 or Guru casts drishti upon Chandra; if Chandra
occupies 1, 5 or 9;, none of the above devious
machinations (Rahu) will overly complicate the
biological process. At least one child arrives
biologically when Guru's fertile eye glances at cool,
moist Soma or the fortunate basal trine.

However even that child much
beloved may arrive as a social taboo-breaker or via
trickery or in fraudulent circumstances.

Remember that bhava-5 shows
the social-material conditions of the children esp
the social response to their unique expression of
divine intelligence; however Rahu-5 's own
emotionally responsive relationship to the child-1
starts at 5th-from-Chandra; child-2 =
7th-from-Chandra, etc.

As a general rule of Rahu in 5,
while Rahu-5 may overly promote one's child in order to bring
glorious justification to oneself
(e.g., a 'stage mother') nevertheless offspring arrive
into one's life in an abundant, natural way and there is
little need for misgiving.

If
Rahu + Guru and/or lord of 5 in 8, an early abortion or a medically terminated pregnancy often due to genetic irregularity (Rahu) of the
infant's physical form.

With Rahu in 5, success in
obtainment of children depends on the bhava-lord but inevitably Rahu the co-lord of Shani's rashi Kumbha will cause some
ego-conflict and sorrow in matters of social
justification (Surya vs Shani) in the process of reproduction and child-raising.

Rahu in 5 in a
barren rashi (Kanya, Mithuna, Makara, Kumbha) generally signifies lack of
children. However if Budha or Shani are well positioned, e.g. in a trine and
supported by child-positive companion graha, children
may be obtained albeit by complex and possibly expensive
means.

In other rashi, the circumstances of the children will reflect the
character of the lord of putra bhava. Not a reactionary but a risk-taker
in creative endeavors. A gambler who loves games of chance.

For a good life,
avoid low-class gambling scenarios such as casinos. May give exceptionally
interesting, volatile, and/or spectacularly profitable results in stock-market
speculation, esp. if Surya is also in this bhava.

Passion and
desire are the primary means of gaining ego-validation, attention and approval.

Smoky, oily things

Rahu-5 may be involved in the "politics of pollution"
both

socially in terms of managing ostracized darker
(Rahu)out-groups

and materially, in terms of regulating toxic pollution of
the natural environment

The Chosen

One wishes to feel
specially "chosen"
for a privileged role: permission to join
the class of Kings, the spectacularly rich, elite politicians, creative performers, and literary
genii, in a celebrity place at the center of attention.

As the great taboo-breaker, Rahu
upsets
customary moral boundaries and induces risky behavior:

in the children;

in the literary and
creative genius;

in
the politics, theatre, contests, games,

displays of intelligence

Rahu disrupts
the customary methods of raising
children and expressing individual creativity.

Can be an indication of
celebrity, if Rahu's
dispositor is favorable.

Underclass, exotic, or taboo attributes of the
children. Stomach trouble for Rahu-5 .

Rahu in a rashi of Shani may deny children entirely.

Rahu in rashi of Budha, children arrive under
peculiar circumstances (illegitimacy, commercial adoption, children
of distant relatives thrice removed).

Rahu in other
rashis may give large numbers of children, or a child of remarkable,
outstanding talent.

Only the bhava lord can
determine whether Rahu-5 can raise these unusual children, or
whether the kids will be raised by others (servants, ex-spouses, etc.)

Expansive but unstable
desire for children, which may be thwarted due to psychic fluctuations
and inconsistency of purpose. Fascination with celebrityand
political
power. Excited applause received from the audience in response to
Rahu-5 's expressions of individual
genius.

Otherwise, peculiar circumstances surrounding the
conception and development of children. Depending on the rashi, the
child may become famous or distinguished in its own culture.

Always something unusual in the circumstances of
conceiving the first child. Frequently an indicator of foreign
adoption. Can signify
adopting or raising one's grandchildren because one's own children have
an irregular lifestyle.

Career + public status difficulties

"Damned if you do; damned if you don't."

When Rahu = 5, naturally Ketu = 11.

bhava-10
= public dignity + profession = enters a bad-angle position = a
feeling of entrapment in career

the notoriously difficult
6th-from-Rahu = an attempt at quick self-elevation during which one becomes the
victim of fraud or tricky deceit by adversarial others at the top
of the social hierarchy

the notoriously difficult
12th-from-Ketu = an
attempt to withdraw from involvements during which one is prevented
from "clean cut" separation because 12th-from-Ketu frustratingly
'dissolves the detachment' and re-invigorates the professional
duties.

This sort of executive leadership role is adversarial and
unsatisfying to the point of impoverishment or physical illness,
yet psychically (Ketu) it is quite hard to get out of the
social responsibilities involved.

Periods of the lord of bhava-10
are
therefore often especially difficult for matters of
maintaining or securing a top executive or governing
position and sustaining public respect, particularly
if combined with a Rahu-Ketu transit to the axis of
bhava 4-10.

By
knowing the axis of radix Rahu-Ketu, it will be possible to predict which department of life will cause consistently the
most persistently volatile and recurring yet seemingly
uncontrollable trouble for Rahu-5 .

Compared to 6th-from-Shani

6th-from-Shani-related disagreement and conflict improves with age,
neutrality, and patience.

However, 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu
variety
of conflict due to
overstepping the bounds of one's rightful place (6th-from-Rahu) plus
loss of meaningful
engagement due to apathy
(12th-from-Ketu) reappears in a new
guise during each subsequent Rahu bhukti.

6th-from-Rahu shows the adversarial
relationships, illness, and financial imbalance such as
debt leading to poverty or servitude, which are triggered by Rahu-5 's instinctive desire
(Rahu) to challenge boundaries and leap-frog over
customary stepwise earnings.

The negative consequences of 6th-from angles are karmic
in origin. Persons whom one may have inadvertently
harmed in parallel lives may suddenly appear as exploiters,
enemies, or disease agents during periods of Rahu
or lord of 6th-from-Rahu. They enforce servitude, start
conflicts, and cause or treat disease during this
period.

Effects of 6th-from-Rahu do not necessarily reflect any
present-life crime or dishonor committed by Rahu-5 .
The origins of Rahu-Ketu drama are often shrouded in
the mists of previous lives.

Neutral acceptance of the
realities of "6th-from" = accusations, disregard for
agreements, and ill-will in humanity is often the
only available strategy for dealing with this
recurring situation.

12th-from-Ketu

12th-from-Ketu = loss of vitality, dissolution of
enthusiasm, drained energies, erosion of conviction,
disengagement, and general ennui regarding persons,
topics, and relationships which are already weakened due
to Ketu's residence in the bhava.

Effects of 12th-from-Ketu
are relatively subtle yet often deeply frustrating;
there is not enough energy or enthusiasm available
to summon, not enough fuel in the tank, to get going
toward solution of 12th-from-Ketu problems.

Neutral acceptance of
inevitable loss is typically the only available
strategy.

Exacerbation

Naturally, if weak or undignified graha should
occupy or own the bhava which is 6th-from-Rahu +
12th-from-Ketu, the negative results can be intensified.

Brown has done well in
elections to various important civic offices at the
US-State level. He has won the Governor's election
three times, been voted State's Attorney-General, a
two-term Mayor of the very large city of Oakland, and numerous other top roles in governing
the US state whose population is greater than the
nation of Canada.

However, unlike many US
politicians who used their fame and power from
California governance as a launching pad to project
themselves into power roles in Washington D.C.,
Brown has never won a US-national level election.

He
failed in US Senate bids and he failed several times
to win the Democratic nomination for the USA
presidential election. This failure is extra
frustrating considering that Brown's name and image
are well recognized (or were, when he wanted the
national role) across many sections of the USa
demographic.

Still, every time he aimed
for the top - he failed. He encountered no serious
animosity or disagreement at the state level, but
when the goal became national-level governance rank,
Brown hit the skids. He could not get the support he
needed either financially or from the essential base
of volunteer campaigners.

Indeed, in the culture of
national elections he projected an image of extreme
liberalism and youthful idealism that appeared
sensualized and self-indulgent (Shukra + Mangala)
and his rhetoric (Budha) sounded almost warlike
(Mesha) in the polarized young-innovators-against-old-bigots cultural debates
of the later decades of the 20th century.

With the lords of six bhava
in
bhava-10,
Brown is surely a capable leader and widely
recognized after decades of holding high-visibility
(10) government (10) positions. His father Pat Brown
was CA governor before young Jerry started doing the
job; clearly the father's knowledge and values (10)
contributed a great deal to the younger governor's
repeated successes in state regulation and imposing
the rule of law (10).

However those same six
bhava-pati occupy the awkward and
disagreeable 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu.

Brown has proven himself a highly capable
governing executive but still he never quite
achieves the top ranks, due to
karma bhava's
inauspicious angle to Rahu-Ketu.

During Rahu bhukti if L-6 from Rahu is strong,
one may be forced into servitude, conflict, sickness, or
crime by imposed obligation to adhere to public moral
standards, need to
maintain a top organizational position, professional career responsibilities and
substantial leadership duties

Most salient effects of Rahu in
bhava-5* passion for politics, celebrity, gamesoccur during
Rahu mahadasha.
Maximum outcome during swabhukti of Rahu-Rahu
and also during the bhukti of Rahu's rashi-pathi.

Also strong results of Rahu-5 should be expected during
each of the nine bhukti periods of Rahu which occur
within the 120 year Vimshottari Dasha.

During any Rahu bhukti, expectations must be
adapted to the
angle between
the Mahadasha-pati and Rahu.

May
involve a fertility quest, surrogate birth, or foreign adoption; or a
sudden, unexpected pregnancy which becomes a vehicle
for self-promotion.

Alternatively, Rahu-5
may invoke a passionate desire to
engage in artistic
performance, celebrity fame or radiant political
power.

Methods of
expedient self-elevation for Rahu-5 include
"appropriation" of the instruments of bhava-5 such as
promotion to more central
political positions, creative distinction in literary or
dramatic performance, hub-of-the wheel
roles, scholarly brilliance, king-figure
behavior, and flaunting
of bhagya good-luck via financial speculation
and gambling.

Although Rahu-5 has not yet *earned* the
entitlementsof authentic creativity which are normally accorded to
royalty, children, and genius performers, Rahu-5 is motivated by a
hungry desire
to grasp these entitlements in a "fast-track" fashion.
His ambition is boundless.

Typically during the first portion of the Rahu
period, Rahu will succeed in rising above the
privilege accorded to His station of birth -
sometimes dramatically so.

However toward the end of the Rahu period, just at
the moment when He would appear to have achieved His
goal, Rahu typically suffers a sudden fall from the
improperly appropriated entitlements.
